In the few days after the terrorist attacks in America virtually no hand luggage was permitted on board, now things seem to have gone back to normal on that front. Maybe if journalists and some passengers getting on an aircraft were once again getting on with little or no cabin baggage this would make the security peoples jobs a lot easier and hand search everybody.
Also while I'm here what is this nylon knife business. If somebody possesses one of these it can only be to work around an x ray devise. If so possession alone should brand you a terrorist and as a consequence maybe these journalists and anyone else found to have one should be treated as one. Nobody seems to be questioning why any of this should even be manufactured let alone carried on a plane.
